The booth of our company at the Smart Factory Expo 2022 was featured in an interview on "Aperza TV"!

The manufacturing execution system ProManageMES enables a factory resilient to change through visualization of the manufacturing site!

Three Features of the Manufacturing Execution System ProManage MES [Feature 1: It can be implemented with a small start!] Depending on the factory's situation and budget, the system can be flexibly implemented with only the necessary functions at the right timing. Additionally, with the release of the cloud version of ProManage in February 2021, it has become more affordable to start small. [Feature 2: It is a management-oriented, overall optimization system!] This system is in line with the Industry 4.0 concept, with many successful implementations in Europe, including Germany. Based on international standards (ISA-95 and ISO22400), it allows for smooth data integration between factories and with overseas ERP systems. [Feature 3: It supports the establishment of a resilient manufacturing system!] This system quickly responds to various external changes such as the COVID-19 pandemic and digitalization, while maintaining and strengthening the improvements in QCD that have been pursued in Japanese manufacturing for many years.

Case Study on the Utilization of Manufacturing Execution System (MES): "Identifying Issues in Job Shop Processes"

I want to promote digital transformation (DX) in the manufacturing site. However, "I can't envision how to utilize the data..." "I have the data, but I'm not able to use it effectively..." Many people may have such concerns, right? In this article, for those considering how to utilize the collected and accumulated data, I will introduce a case study on identifying issues in job shop processes using data from the Manufacturing Execution System (MES).

Three Key Points of Digital Transformation in Manufacturing Industry

From the time when it was surprising for each person to have a mobile phone, we have now entered an era where having a camera on a mobile phone and using a smartphone that can be operated with just one screen has become completely normal. Amidst the remarkably rapid pace of technological innovation, various industries are focusing on "digital transformation." In the manufacturing sector, there is a need for flexible responses to various environmental changes such as "the arrival of an era where products do not sell," "diversification of customer needs," "labor shortages," and "the impact of COVID-19." To address this, "digital transformation in manufacturing" is essential to build a manufacturing system that is resilient to change through the digitalization of the manufacturing industry. In this article, we will explain key points for advancing digital transformation in manufacturing, including "clarifying objectives and goals," "starting small," and "combining visualization and response."

From February 11 (Wednesday) to February 13 (Friday), Mikasa Trading Co., Ltd. will sponsor the technology conference "JANOG57 Meeting in Osaka" held at the Congre Convention Center. This event provides an open platform for field engineers to freely discuss and share the latest network technologies, practical operational know-how, and case studies of failures. This time, we will be exhibiting a booth in collaboration with Western Digital Marketing LLC, showcasing innovative storage solutions such as the "Ultrastar Data60" and HDDs with a maximum capacity of 30TB. The Ultrastar Data60 is recognized for its ability to efficiently accommodate up to 60 high-quality HDDs while achieving large capacity, low cost, and space-saving design. Additionally, we will display mobile label printers made by Brady Japan at our booth. You will have the opportunity to see products that are actively used in infrastructure development and data management up close. Don't miss this chance to experience the technologies that support the future! We look forward to seeing you at the venue.

Olink Explore HT is a next-generation proteomics analysis platform that enables the high-sensitivity and high-throughput measurement of numerous proteins from small sample volumes. In this webinar, we will explain the technical features and utilization points of Olink Explore HT and the new product Reveal, based on our analysis experience using actual BioBank Japan samples. We will also introduce the differences from other platforms such as SomaScan and Illumina Protein Prep, from the perspectives of analysis design and data characteristics. This content will provide practical insights for researchers considering options for proteomics analysis in large cohort studies and biomarker discovery. Speaker: Dr. Akinori Kanai (Associate Professor, Center for Life Data Science, Graduate School of Frontier Sciences, The University of Tokyo)

In this seminar, we will break down "DX" into five elements in relation to the concept of innovation and explain them with examples. The aim is to deepen the understanding of "DX" itself and clarify what steps should be taken first. Additionally, we will introduce the approach of "suitable personnel in suitable places ERP" as a way to select the foundation for promoting "DX." <Program> - Introduction - The lagging DX in manufacturing and how to succeed in the new era - The choice of "suitable personnel in suitable places" ERP as a foundation for strengthening competitiveness <Recommended for> - Those who are exploring what steps to take towards DX - Business owners, managers in the manufacturing industry, and those responsible for management innovation - System personnel interested in the future of core systems *Applications from competing companies may be declined.
